WorldWide Flora and Fauna
Norway (LAFF) is dedicated to promotion and radio activations of national
parks, nature reserves, protected landscapes, etc. of Norway. It is also meant
to be an inspiration to portable operations.A list of available Norwegian areas
can be found here. LB8CG has also made available a kmz-file so that the areas (per March 2 2017) can be viewed with Google Earth or alternatively as a Google fusion table here. In addition, the perimeter of a given area can of course be found at www.protectedplanet.net.Those who want to activate
an area, can find the general rules here. In brief, you and all of your
equipment have to be within the perimeter of the area. If you want the
activation to count towards the international activator award, you have to a)
make at least 44 QSOs, and b) stay in the area for at least two hours. For the
international award, you can only work from one reference at a given time, i.e.
if you are in an area which is a subarea of a larger area, the reference of the
subarea shall be used.Operators are encouraged to
the send the log in ADIF format to the LA WWFF national coordinator;
laff.coordinator at gmail.com, no matter how many QSOs which have been made and
how long an activation has lasted. Make sure to add photographic proof of your
activation using pictures of a GPS device, parks signs, and your set-up. Any
questions concerning LA WWFF activations can also be sent to the coordinator.
